"The sovereigns of the world," writes 'Abdu'l-Baha in elaboration of this theme, "must conclude a binding treaty, and establish a covenant, the provisions of which shall be sound, inviolable and definite. They must proclaim it to all the world, and obtain for it the sanction of all the human race ... All the forces of humanity must be mobilized to insure the stability and permanence of this Most Great Covenant ... The fundamental principle underlying this solemn Pact should be so fixed that if any government later violate any one of its provisions, all the governments on earth should arise to reduce it to utter submission, nay the human race as a whole should resolve, with every power at its disposal, to destroy that government."
(192:2)
